A contributory pension scheme for full-time non-teaching employees serving on the staff of comprehensive and community schools was introduced with effect from 1 August 1979. There is no provision under the terms of the scheme for the admission to pensionability of part-time employees. I understand that the person referred to by the Deputy was employed as a cleaner in a community school on a part-time basis. Accordingly, as she was not a full-time employee, she was not eligible for admission to the pension scheme.
